Overview
High Rake Mine is recorded as a Scheduled monument in Derbyshire Dales. The official title identifies mine at this exact place.
Why it was built
Historic England records High Rake Mine as a Scheduled monument. The exact title identifies mine, safely indicating a workplace tied to making, processing, power or extracting material.
People and work
The safest reading of the official title is a workplace tied to making, processing, power or extracting material. The saved record does not name every person who made, used or changed it, so those names are left open.
How it changed
The saved wording does not establish one complete story of attack, rebuilding, abandonment, damage or later change. No single cause is claimed without evidence.
What survives
The official record fixes the place and calls it Scheduled monument. It does not provide a full list of finds or a current condition report, so visible and buried remains are not guessed.
Why it mattered
High Rake Mine matters because the national list fixes mine in this exact local landscape. Its protected record preserves evidence of how people lived, worked, crossed, made things or shaped the land without borrowing a story from another place.
